Together for over a decade, Kyra and David Winter are happier than they ever thought they could be. They have a comfortable home, stable careers, and a young son, Michael, who they love more than anything. Yet because of their complicated histories, Kyra and David have always feared that this domestic bliss couldn’t last--that the life they created was destined to be disrupted. And on one perfectly ordinary summer day, it is: Michael disappears from his own backyard. The only question is whose past has finally caught up with them: David feels sure that Michael was taken by his troubled ex-wife, while Kyra believes the kidnapper must be someone from her estranged family, someone she betrayed years ago.

This type of book can be so compelling but so close to home making it difficult to read especially if the writer can make it feel so realistic. I'm always torn - should I read or not.(But The Lovely Bones was such a wonderful read...)

Ooo, the Winter's In Bloom sounds interesting. I wonder what happened to Michael. I'm guessing it was neither of their crazy backgrounds but just some psycho. My second guess is that it's the ex-wife. Aren't ex-wife's always crazy?
